FIFA 23 was released on 30 September on what is one of the biggest days of the year for gamers. It is the last time that EA Sports will release a FIFA title, having lost the licencing agreement from 2023 going ahead. The game will be known as EA Sports FC from next year going forward.
Players can be rated up to 99, with midfielders receiving an overall rating as well as ratings in categories such as passing and defending.
Man City's De Bruyne is the best midfielder in the game. No other player in his position tops 90, with Bayern Munich's Sadio Mane coming second in the FIFA 23 ratings with 89. The former Liverpool man is one of four midfielders to have this rating along with Joshua Kimmich, Casemiro and N'Golo Kante.
Real Madrid pair Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are both given 88 ratings for FIFA 23. Remarkably, Modric has received an upgrade of one point this year, despite now being 37. It is testimony to the quality that he continues to show in for Los Blancos.
